This standard defines the requirements for General Operations Manual for Professional Operator of Light Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The standard addresses the requirements and/or best practices for documentation and organization of a professional operator (i.e., for compensation and hire). The intent is for this standard to support professional entities that will receive operator certification by a CAA, and provide standards of practice for self- or third-party audit of operators of UAS Not all CAAs have operator certificates. This would provide a standard for operators and identify gaps that are not currently addressed as it relates to: (1)Individuals, who are currently remote pilots (i.e. FAA under Part 107) in jurisdictions that do not separately certify Operators, who want to voluntarily comply with a higher standard, and (2)Operators, who are seeking certification from a CAA for Light Unmanned Aircraft Systems, who want to voluntarily comply with an industry standard (3)Public agencies interested in developing unmanned aircraft systems programs.
